I am saying goodbye

To the girl who led me here

Twisting at the end of her too tight leash

The girl who told me they were right

I am not enough

I am beyond repair

I am unworthy of it

I am saying goodbye

To that version of me

Who told me the electric bolts

She called truth

Were well meant

Misunderstood love letters

That would keep me safe

From danger, from the unknown

From rejection

From life

I am saying goodbye to her

And creating a new

Face in the mirror

Voice in my head

That looks at me with pride

And speaks to me with love
